The ACI Greater Michigan Chapter and our meeting sponsor,St. Mary’s Cement, invite you to join us Tuesday, March 12, 2019, for a presentation on Insulated Concrete Form Construction (ICF).

Our speaker, Nick Popoff, will discuss how constructing a building is never easy but the decision to build with ICFs was. The first cost is offset by the resilient design, in-place insulation and the thermal mass of concrete within the ICF that creates a stable temperature profile within the walls of a building or home. Recent studies will be presented on how and why thermal mass and insulation work to offset the initial cost of construction for both residential and mid-rise commercial buildings. Also, follow the experiences of a homebuilder; first-hand of constructing and then living in an ICF home.
